Looking for an optic for my longer pistol uppers. Any recomendations or experiences welcomed.

How about a T-1 or H-1. Very light, small, and work as good or better than the other Aimpoints.

You could use one of those Trijicon Reflex ACOGs. They don't use batteries and don't have to be turned on when you grab it.

I personally like my ML3, I do have an EOTech but it's current being used on my 16" carbine.

I just built a 12" and I have a Primary Arms (Aimpoint T-1 knockoff 98.00) on it now... Works fine, but I'm saving to upgrade it too a Eotech XPS3-2.... I have Eotechs on some of my other rifles and I really like them. I feel like I can see more/better than I can with the Aimpoints...

I have an 11" pistol with an old school Trijicon Reflex. Plenty good enough for 100 yards (and further if your eyes are younger than mine).

This ^ with the amber triangle and I also like the C-more Railway on my pistols.
